June 26, 2011 5 Nights on the Disney Dream!!!!

[PaceFamily]

Have the cruise docs shown up yet

26 days to go

They have not, but our TA just got back from a Disney Vacation. We are hoping that she went to get them for us!!

We are so close and are keeping our fingers crossed. We have to go back and adjust the FE stuff for our newest members (WELCOME). Just trying to get through the days.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the lanyard party.

Sorry I have been MIA in posting, but I've been reading faithfully all the posts every day. Just finished up the Memorial Day holiday, but it also kicks off three weeks of "too much to do in too little time". First was DD's first dance recital this past weekend (she sure made a pretty cheetah!). This coming weekend is DD's 7th birthday (all girls Barbie party! What was I thinking?) Then the following weekend is my parents 50th anniversary party. I have 90 friends and family coming for a party. Then what I thought was an off weekend is now getting my mother ready for another surgery. As you all remember she fell in January and broke her arm and kneecap. This surgery is to repair/replace a rotator cuff that is gone. Sometime during all of this I have to finish our FEs, pack, and continue to keep it a secret from DD.

I'm tired just from thinking about it all, and eagerly waiting for that first drink of the day.

Many thanks go out to Crystal and Rob. The update FE list and the map of cabins is awesome! Looking forward to meeting everyone come 6/26.

Oh and for any of you at the Radisson the evening of the 25th, I will apologize in advance. I'm thinking there will be 3 very loud little girls when they find out what we are doing that evening.

Ah, dance recital season...I'm doing the lights for our local studio's recital, and our littlest ones are 'Wild Kingdom"-adorable pink tiger cats!

We're coming up on Tech Week for Beauty and the Beast, which for me means this vacation is getting closer!!! Final projects, fans in classrooms...all signs that summer is almost here...I can't wait to sit on my butt and relax!!!

Well, it turns out our TA DID have our docs. We have them in hand and are SSSOOO excited. Just need to get through this month!

YEAH!!

OK, Now that graduation and everything else is over, I can concentrate on the cruise. But I need some help please. I am not sure where I was exactly when I found a wonderful packing list spreadsheet with great hints but unfortunately, my computer crashed and I lost it. Can anyone direct me?

There is a packing list posted in the FAQ at the top of the main cruise board. If should be what u are looking for. I can't post links from my I-touch. Sorry

So yesterday was the last day of the school year for students and today is the last day for teachers.

It also means the end of my teaching career. I'm leaving after 9-years and start my new job June 20th. I told them that I have a planned vacation from June 26th - July 1st and they said that was fine. So I'm off for 2 weeks, work for a week, then off for a week, and then back for a short work week because of the July 4th holiday. Kind of a weird schedule to start with.

I'm SOOOO excited for this cruise I can't even see straight. May was an absolutely HORRIBLE month for my family and I so we can't wait until we get some needed decompression time.

 

[Goofy559]

Just curious if anyone is extending their vacation to stay for the final shuttle launch on July 8? We are!!!

When I left teaching it felt weird, but just be prepared that come school time this fall, you will experience a lot of emotions all over again as the kids get ready to go back to school and you aren't setting up a classroom. I had problems going into the little post office near me because it was also a teaching supply store and I loved walking around in there planning things..... Now it's been more years than I can count

Just curious if anyone is extending their vacation to stay for the final shuttle launch on July 8? We are!!!

I wish!!! But since I will have already been gone from work for two weeks when we pull back into port, I don't think I can get away with another week!

 

[Faith&Hope]

Thought I better post because this week is going to fly by so fast so I better ask while I can!

So....thanks to you guys, I have the schedule for dress each night and the ports that we are at. What shows are going on each night? Was trying to compare to a 4 day navigator but that's hard. They have golden mickeys the first night with formal pictures. Yikes....that's hard. They have Golden Mickeys, Villains tonight, cabaret, and Disneys believe shows. Caberat was planned with pirates night.

Do you have any update as to what shows are which night?

What is the Villains tonight?
Is the Golden Mickeys the same as the GM on magic/wonder?

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Trying to figure out the shows Thanks!

We don't get out of school until JUNE 24th! We are leaving immediately after kindergarten graduation and flying out. Just have to get everything done!

Thanks for updating us! If you see any other updates, please keep us updated!!

Is the Golden Mickey's the same as the GM on the Magic/Wonder?

Also, what are the reviews for Villains tonight and Believe? My computer has to go in for service tomorrow (Did it have to fail NOW when we have LESS THAN 3 WEEKS?) so searching anything on the boards is not an option for me.

And what are they doing for the variety act? I knew which shows to miss on the Magic/Wonder because we had seen them 4 times. With this being a short 5 day trip, I want to take it all in but also don't want to give up our fun ship time to see a show every night. Love the shows though.....don't get me wrong!!

WOW! Thanks for the reminder. With everything going on it never registered that we are going to be in Florida still. We are staying in Disney the week after to celebration my son's 18th birthday on July 7th. We are DEFINITELY adding this to the itinerary.
